Conor McGregor Provides Update on UFC Return After Missing USADA Deadline
Conor McGregor, the renowned UFC star, has recently given an update on his highly anticipated return to the octagon. Unfortunately, McGregor has missed the USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) deadline, which has raised concerns about his eligibility to compete in the UFC.
Initially, there were plans for McGregor to face off against Michael Chandler after The Ultimate Fighter 31. However, despite four episodes of the show airing, there has been no sign of the McGregor vs. Chandler fight. The main issue lies in the fact that McGregor has not been included in the USADA test pool, a mandatory requirement for fighters before they can participate in the UFC.
As a result, McGregor will not be able to compete in the final pay-per-view event of 2023. Nevertheless, McGregor has expressed his determination to step back into the octagon, bringing hope to his fans. During a visit to New York, McGregor was asked about his short-term goals, to which he responded, “Fight. I want to arrange a fight.”
Despite the setback, Michael Chandler, McGregor’s potential opponent, remains optimistic about the possibility of their fight. Chandler believes that the bout could still take place either at the end of this year or in the first quarter of next year.
Fans of the UFC and McGregor will have to wait a little longer for his return, but the fighter’s determination and the optimism surrounding a potential fight with Chandler provide some reassurance. McGregor’s absence from the USADA test pool is a hurdle that needs to be overcome, but with his eagerness to compete, it is likely that a resolution will be found.
Stay tuned for further updates on Conor McGregor’s return to the UFC and the potential fight against Michael Chandler.
